People will realize that software is not a product; you use it to build a product.

I think one thing I do pretty well is not taking myself too seriously.

I'm not worried about the kernel itself or the basic system. All the commercialization is about the distributions and the applications. As such, it only brings value-added things to Linux, and it doesn't take anything away from the Linux scene.

We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.

The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.

I have an ego the size of a small planet.

Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we're kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce.
